While GHCHS is now in compliance with the education law for CAASPP testing, they still refuse to recognize the rights of parents to exempt their children from these other tests. The new version of the Parent/Student Handbook still states that students can be punished if they do not participate “fully” in the assessments that they choose. Parents are told that “California Education Code 60615 applies only to state-mandated assessments” and they have no right to keep their children from taking school selected tests. The charter shows a particular disdain for those with concerns about test anxiety when it states that GHCHS “selected assessments are often graded.”

Wow. My hat is off to you. I wish more parents were as engaged in what actually happens, their and their kids rights, and had the writing skills to articulate the process of ‘crime and punishment’. Fund raising and selling more t-shirts in general take so much time…
